How on earth could you conclude that? Comments so far have been about the quality of the communication, not its quantity.

This has made me remember that my stepdaughter used to speak in a continuous stream of words right up into adulthood; it was more or less incomprehensible. My stating that I had not been called upon to punctuate a paragraph of prose since my schooldays and I wasn't going to start again now neither went down well nor had any noticeable effect.

The worrisome thing is that she now has a PhD in something exotic and is lecturing university students; I just hope that she has learnt the art of marshalling her thoughts sufficiently to communicate in comprehensible, punctuated speech.
